The OISE Library has a number of resources to support your Earth Day lessons. This week’s Featured Activity Kit is Earth Book Plus (CR 550 E125), a foam model of the earth designed to teach students about the composition of the planet. The atmosphere, crust, mantle, and core are all represented in separate layers. Earth Book Plus can be used to support discussions about how Earth was formed, how volcanoes work, and how our planet supports activities such as farming and mining.
In addition to the foam model, the kit includes a reproducible activity card, extension activities, and background information on each layer. The kit is currently displayed on the small table near the Circulation Desk on the Ground Floor of the library. Check it out today!
